The Revelation of St John the Divine

Chapter 19

The marriage supper of the Lamb is made ready—The testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy—Christ is King of Kings and Lord of Lords.

1 And after these things I heard a great voice of much people in heaven, saying, Alleluia; Salvation, and glory, and honour, and power, unto the Lord our God:

2 For true and righteous are his ajudgments: for he hath bjudged the great cwhore, which did corrupt the earth with her fornication, and hath avenged the blood of his servants at her hand.

3 And again they said, Alleluia. And her asmoke rose up for ever and ever.

4 And the four and twenty elders and the four abeasts fell down and worshipped God that sat on the throne, saying, Amen; Alleluia.

5 And a voice came out of the throne, saying, Praise our God, all ye his servants, and ye that fear him, both small and great.

6 And I heard as it were the voice of a great multitude, and as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of mighty thunderings, saying, Alleluia: for the Lord aGodbomnipotent reigneth.

7 Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him: for the amarriage of the bLamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready.

8 And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine alinen is the brighteousness of saints.

9 And he saith unto me, Write, Blessed are they which are called unto the amarriagebsupper of the cLamb. And he saith unto me, These are the true sayings of God.

10 And I afell at his feet to bworship him. And he said unto me, See thou do it not: I am thy cfellowservant, and of thy brethren that have the testimony of Jesus: worship God: for the dtestimony of Jesus is the spirit of eprophecy.

11 And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth ajudge and make bwar.

12 His aeyeswere as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a bname written, that no man knew, but he himself.

14 And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, aclothed in fine linen, white and clean.

15 aAnd out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall brule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the cwinepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.

16 And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, aKing of Kings, and bLord of Lords.

17 And I saw an angel standing in the sun; and he cried with a loud voice, saying to all the fowls that fly in the midst of heaven, Come and gather yourselves together unto the supper of the great God;

18 That ye may eat the flesh of kings, and the flesh of captains, and the flesh of mighty men, and the flesh of horses, and of them that sit on them, and the flesh of all amen, both free and bond, both small and great.

19 And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against him that sat on the horse, and against his army.

20 And the beast was taken, and with him the afalse prophet that wrought bmiracles before him, with which he cdeceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a dlake of efire burning with brimstone.

21 And the remnant were slain awith the sword of him that sat upon the horse, which sword proceeded out of his mouth: and all the fowls were filled with their flesh.
